Folding Bicycles
The folder or folding bicycle is a kind of bike that has several joints and / or hinges that can be unlocked in order to fold the bike into a compact size and shape.

of speed and performance, this is more of a myth than an actuality.

Folding bikes generally have smaller wheels though the ratios that determine how a bike will fit a rider seem to be nearly identical to no-folding bikes. Though folding bikes tend to cost more than non-folding bikes with similar features, many people find they are very suitable for their mixed transit lifestyles.
